Friends, allow me to introduce you to the world map for The Death Spiral novel series, the unnamed continent.
Too often does fantasy rely on tropes and motifs from only 3 of our own continents (Europe, Asia, Africa). But here, the world takes from US, MEX, CAN, folklores, as well as from 1/3

Number two for the evening is a true classic of early heavy metal.
The opening riff in "Guts" is insane for nineteen seventy fuckin' two. Budgie needs more love

This was Holly. She was one of our dogs, 4 years old and a little bundle of love and joy.

My mental health continues to go up and down, but I did do a bit of 'cold writing' for the prologue on my latest reimagining of my WIP
Same general story as I've been trying to tell, just altering things big and small.
